Chapter 312: Discoloration
"Can the bronze gate take me through space?"
Thor was a little incredulous, could he appear on the 1st floor of the East Tower every time he left from the 20th floor?
However, the bronze gate on the first floor of the East Tower cannot be pushed open at the same time.
"Maybe it's a one-way channel, or maybe it's a one-off. I just asked the mentor for help, and maybe he thinks it's best not to wander around the wizard's tower until I get the puppet. β
In any case, this greatly facilitates Thor.
The first thing he did when he returned to the second warehouse was to find the red-eyed puppet doll and stuff it in his pocket.
Thor then walked to the front of the storeroom, checked the number of candles, lit a few more, and came to Herman's corpse.
γ
The diary opens inside the spirits, which is a sign that Thor allows them to observe the outside world.
"Herman, can you see the corpse in front of me now?"
Herman: [...... Yes, master. Is that...... My corpse. γ
He spoke with some difficulty, apparently the experience of seeing his own body was not pleasant.
"I'm sorry, I know you may not be feeling well, but I have something I want to confirm."
Thor told them that when their souls were out of their bodies, they were often pulled into their bodies by these lifeless corpses, and sometimes they would see the same sights that these corpses would normally see.
It was as if it was not a corpse standing in the storeroom, but a monitor.
"Do you know why?"
The consciousness in the journal was silent for a moment, and then Agu was the first to answer.
Agu: [Actually, I've heard a saying that the soul depends on the body's protection, and the body needs the soul. Therefore, when the creature is dying, his body will exude a huge amount of energy, and various functions will turn around to save the soul. γ
"So you think our bodies are conscious too?"
Agu: [That's just a statement.] At present, there are no experiments to prove that the body has consciousness alone, and I think it may be a rule of life operation. γ
Morton: [I don't think so, but I wasn't dead at the time of my death. Both the soul and the consciousness are still in the body, and there is control. So I agree that the struggle at the time of death is also a command from the soul to the body. Just like some women who are pregnant, the soul gives instructions to the body to protect the child and not to herself. γ
Agu: [Then how do you explain the Dwarven Valley effect?] γ
Morton: [I haven't been to the Valley of the Dwarves, maybe it's just that the wizards at that time were not strong enough to find the spiritual body fluctuations in it, or the remaining fragments of consciousness? γ
Agu: [Can a third-order wizard also be called a lack of strength?] γ
"Wait, wait! Don't argue, who's going to tell me what the Dwarven Valley Effect is? Seeing that the two most knowledgeable consciousnesses began to quarrel, Thor hurriedly stopped them.
Agu: [There is a third-order wizard in another continent who wants to capture a group of dwarves. When he came to the valley where the dwarves lived, he found that all the magic and spiritual power there had disappeared and turned into a demon-free zone. Creatures with souls, once entered, feel extremely repulsive. If they are forced to enter, the soul will even be separated from the body, and the spirits will be excluded, but their physical bodies will continue to move forward according to their original will. γ
Agu: [If you can't use material power to pull your body out before you get away, those souls who have left your body will never be able to get their bodies back. So it became the realm of all soul creatures, but it is rumored that there were people who saw bodies still moving while standing on the outskirts of the Dwarven Valley. γ
"And a place like this?"
Morton: [Master, sometimes it's just that we haven't discovered the truth of the matter yet, and it doesn't mean that there must be such irregularities in the world. γ
Agu: [Oh, then you mean that the laws of the world are known? γ
"Enough!" Thor's face sank, "I know academia has always been debated, but don't forget that I'm asking questions now!" β
The black pages belonging to Agu and Morton fell silent in an instant, accompanied by an unconscious tremble.
Clearly, the journalist's anger was a great pressure on the conscious beings who were fixed in the pages.
It was even so big that Thor was a little surprised.
He didn't immediately try to appease the two wounded souls, but summed up the knowledge he had just gained.
"There are two main speculations right now. One is that the body acts according to the last commands of the soul. The other is that consciousness is born in the body itself. β
Thor looked at Herman, who had been transformed.
"Herman, I'm touching your body now, and you'll see if you feel anything."
Thor drilled a transparent tentacle of gray shadows from the palm of his right hand. The tentacles are as thick as an adult's arm, but they can be half a meter thick if needed, but then they will be shorter.
Tentacles encircled Herman's skull and penetrated through his eyebrows.
But soon it pulled out again.
"The mind is empty."
Thor's tentacles changed a few more places.
The processed corpse of Herman in front of him...... The changes are really big.
In addition to the brain, the spine has also been replaced with other materials, and the shape does not even look like a human spine.
Looking at this Heysmorgasbord Erman, Thor silently withdrew his tentacles.
"How did you feel during this time?"
Herman: [...... The mood is a little complicated. γ
Herman's handwriting looked a little sluggish, and it was clear that he had been touched by the scene just now, but he quickly adjusted.
Herman: [I didn't feel any difference. Of course, it could also be that my perception is not so sharp. γ
Thor nodded, "Well, it could also be that you don't feel your body so clearly because you've been separated by too many mediums. β
Thor walked past Herman's body.
It is also possible that Herman's body was different from those in other morgues.
Thor had not been pulled into this body when his soul was out of his body, and it cannot be ruled out that the new members of this corpse group did not have the ability to pull souls into his body.
"Also, the problem of body and soul is a big problem in the wizarding world, how can I easily find clues?"
However, Thor did not give up immediately, this time he chose a corpse that had been possessed and pierced it again.
This time, he asked all the consciousnesses, including An, to sense together, whether they could feel a little different.
But this time, the four consciousnesses still found nothing.
During this period, Agu and Morton did not quarrel again, and they all worked honestly.
"Oh, by the way, we have a new member." Saul remembered that Nick's body was still "smelling" in the sarcophagus.
"Maybe it's fresh, it's going to be different."
Although Thor is also saddened and saddened by Nick's fall, when confronted with the corpse, he becomes a rational wizard again.
Nick's sarcophagus is located in the corner of the storeroom, and several boxes are stacked next to itβone of which was once the lucky one of Thor's footboxes.
He walked over and ordered Algae to open the box, while he himself remained vigilant in case the corpse changed.
But Nick's body was quiet, with no intention of attacking or fleeing.
He lay there, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he were dreaming.
Thor had barely seen Nick laugh, and of course, the time he laughed at him didn't count.
Because Nick majored in emotional witchcraft, he was extremely restrained from his own emotional changes, and he had to hide every time he found an emotion that had been suppressed for a long time.
Saul remembered the sound of him laughing in pain, it was no longer pleasant, but torture.
"There is no abnormality, you can put it in the storeroom ......"
Thor finished his examination and was just about to carry Nick's body out when he saw the diary turn over again.
Agu: [Master, you'd better take a look at the puppet you just put on your body.] γ
Thor frowned, and immediately took out the red-eyed doll in his arms.
"When?!" His childlike hole shrank instantly.
The puppet's eyes, for some time, had turned black!
But after Thor got the puppet, he hasn't even left the storeroom!
